.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly inside a domain folder or in a subfolder to inform the server how it must address requests when a website or a folder that is part of it is accessed. A lot of famous scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress use an .htaccess file. If you get loads of fake traffic to your site, for instance, you can block the access of certain IP addresses and third-party websites, or you can request the guest to input a username and a password to be able to view the content. You can also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your site, prevent other Internet sites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, etc. An .htaccess file offers you much more control over your Internet sites and the way they operate.
